This is a common practice among all barbers the idea is that you’re in good hands with a barber behind you a stylist would require your constant input during a haircut not a barber also a barber has his/her cushion mat that he/she stands on which is behind the chair and kept between the chair and the mirror where he/she stands for his/her comfort standing all day on hard concrete can cause fatigue among other physical issues... and if the mat was on the opposite side of the chair it would become a tripping hazard and become a liability... so no the client being faced away from the mirror will not cause any business issues... In my professional opinion as a Barber the only time a client needs to discuss anything about their hair is during the initial consultation when they get in the chair. usually turn them to the mirror and ask what kind of haircut I can give them, go through a few back and forth q&a to be sure we are on The same page, when finished show mirror for inspection...
they do the over all on both sides then fine tune it later. Always ends up perfect. Don’t doubt these men and their craft
